Linear Position Sensors for Factory Automation

Linear Position Sensors For Factory Automation Applications

Low Cost LVIT Technology

Spring loaded linear position probes with standard industrial digital or analog outputs are commonly used in dimensional gaging and control systems to efficiently measure critical dimensional parameters on machined parts and sub-assemblies. The automotive, aerospace and medical industries require precise machining tolerances on piece parts.Using inductive linear position sensors for dimensional gaging insures quality parts as part of SPC and quality control programs.

The LRx and LRSx Series Economical and Rugged

These linear position sensors were designed by engineers having decades of experience with factory automation measurement and controls systems. These inductive linear position sensors combine quality, reliability and long life in demanding applications. The LRSx series is spring loaded making the task of installation a simple due to it's compact design and standard M18 threaded body. Do you have tight a space? The LRx series with rod eyes and an almost one-to-one stroke to length ratio make them a great solution. These position sensors either in spring loaded form or rod eye style are an excellent choice for most industrial linear position feedback applications.

DGP Series Dimensional Gaging Probes

These LVDT based sensors are offered in ranges for +/-.5mm to +/-10mm in full bridge, half bridge, feather touch and pneumatic configurations, our dimensional gauging probes allow the user to take individual measurements or customize full data acquisition systems using a bus system and accompanying software.

Marposs introduces Digi Crown™, an innovative system of Digital Probe Technology for Dimensional Measurement and Quality Control.
Digi Crown™ brings a new measurement standard to the metal cutting, metal forming, glass, ceramic and plastics industries in one comprehensive package.
This system allows for configuration of max. 12 networks, each with capacity of up to 31 probes, connected to a PC via RS232 serial interface or RS485 interface cards for PCI or ISA bus.
Each Digi Crown™ probe carries its own unique identity, is perfectly mapped to its working range and connects to a separate component, the digital interface box, where it is automatically recognised by the system.

SIMPLE ON MEASUREMENTS
The E9066T™ Thin Panel Industrial Computer is the ideal companion for the Marposs Digi Crown™, data acquisition system. When bundled with its' Quick SPC™ for Windows® Measurement & SPC software, and innovative user interface, your applications will be just a few keystrokes or mouse clicks away.

SMALL ON SPACE
With a mere 50mm in depth, the E9066T has been designed to satisfy all space-constricted applications, without compromising features and functionalities of a complete industrial PC at a truely competitive price.
Thanks to its reduced footprint and small weight, it is suitable for bench-top, panel mount, wall-mount and swing-arm solutions alike.
